‘4 years ago I gave $10k each to Sara and Skye during my first pregnancy and it’s hard not to cry writing this, but now they both have their rainbow babies and it has truly been my greatest honor to be a part of their journeys and I can’t. wait to do this again
‘1 in 6 people worldwide are affected by infertility and 1 in 4 women experience a miscarriage, pregnancy loss or stillbirth and there is not enough support, education or ongoing research into the health of women, so let’s continue to end shame, stigma and silence.’
Iskra confirmed her relationship with Philip around May 2019, but they first met at a Grammys party the year before and became a couple in October.
In 2019, Iskra came under fire for announcing she was expecting her first child with a sponsored post promoting a pregnancy test.
In the beaming pictures, Iskra held a First Response Early Result pregnancy test as tour manager Philip cradled her burgeoning baby bump.
She wrote: “It’s not just the two of us anymore, soon we will be a family of three.”
‘We were so shocked when we saw those two lines and knew for sure we were going to have a baby. Right now we are 17 weeks and three days pregnant!’
Iskra made a donation of $10,000 to support women facing infertility issues. The activist added: ‘I am very aware of the problems many women face with infertility and how lucky I am.

‘That’s why I’m donating $10,000 to help and support one of you on your pregnancy journey (more details coming soon).
‘Thank you so much #firstresponsepregnancy for supporting me and for all the work you do to help couples struggling to conceive.
‘It is something very close to my heart, as many of my best friends and family are experiencing these challenges. I can’t believe I’m finally telling the whole damn world our magical news. Sending you all a lot of love xx’
But the post’s commercial links, highlighted by the use of the #ad hashtag, were not well received by some, who left comments on the post accusing the model of disrespecting her future son.
One acknowledged that her offer is ‘generous’, but argued: ‘It could have been any other position once you announced your pregnancy.’
It comes three years after Iskra shared that her son was “not breathing” when he was born.

Iskra revealed in the post that she will kindly hold a $10,000 giveaway to support women facing infertility issues.
She said her son had difficulties during delivery. It took ‘two or three seconds’ for her little one to start breathing after being born. “He wasn’t breathing for two or three seconds,” she shared. “When you look back and see a lifeless blue body… that was really scary.”
But luckily, Iskra’s son started breathing shortly after birth, and the beauty says “everything happened so fast” that the incident didn’t “traumatize” her.
And he added: “Everything happened so quickly that it was not traumatic.” He couldn’t even take in what was happening because [my midwife Ellie] I just dealt with it.
“She told me, ‘I know exactly what I’m doing, there’s nothing scary here, we’ve got this.’
